A good year for smelly fruit
It may look delicious but this fruit's pungent smell makes it an acquired taste.
Durians, the so-called "king of fruits", are something of a national obsession in Singapore.
And 2015 is shaping up to be a very good year for durian lovers, with a bumper crop in neighbouring Malaysia.
That means prices are coming down and sales are going up – much to the delight of buyers and sellers alike.
That's it from me. I'll leave you with today's words and phrases once again.
